Finally! NECA announces an Aliens Newt action figure!

Among NECA's announcements for Alien Day on April 26 was this - an action figure of Newt from Aliens! Actress Carrie Henn (who played Newt) actually made the first announcement on her Twitter account, a really nice touch. Newt has been one of the most-requested characters, and the sculpt looks incredible. The figure will be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, and we'll add more details on how to get one as we get them.
